Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering in Resource Engineering at Saint Mary's University prepares students to work on large-scale resource projects that balance technical innovation, economic factors, environmental responsibility, and community impact. The four-year degree offers two specialization streams: Renewable Energy Engineering and Mining Engineering. Students can enter the program directly in first year or transfer into third year after completing a Diploma in Engineering. The curriculum combines engineering fundamentals with stream-specific coursework in either renewable energy systems or mining engineering practice. Graduates are prepared for engineering roles in resource-based industries, including renewable power generation, mining operations, and resource-sector engineering consulting, applying engineering principles alongside consideration of economic and environmental outcomes. The program suits students who want an engineering degree focused specifically on the resource sector rather than general mechanical, civil, or electrical streams.
